[Intro] [interpolating an iconic TV quote] "The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie." [Verse 1] In the deepest shade of darkness I've seen the light I've been scarred and beaten down But still I rise Got my teeth sunk in the ground Jaw's locked in tight Ain't nobody else around But I'm alright I walk around with the weight of the world on my shoulders But that's alright 'cause I got a set of the boulders [Pre-Chorus] And I ain't here to fit the mold You can't break what's already broken [Chorus] Every fracture left a pattern Every scar became design Built different Built different (You and me are) built different Built different ("Built different") [Verse 2] I'm a new man every day I put the mask on (Put the mask on) They still doubt that I will last long (They still doubt, they still doubt) But I will laugh when I'm the last one (Ha) (Yeah, yeah, yeah) But I ain't here to fit the mold (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) You can't break what's already broken [Chorus] Every fracture left a pattern Every scar became design Built different Built different (You and me are) built different Built different Built different Built different Built different Built different [Bridge] [with ad-libs] We are the shadows in the night We are the diamonds in the rough We are the pain that makes you tough [repeated] We are We are [repeated] We are We are [repeated] We are We are We are the ashes of the fire We are the wire that holds you tight We are the pain that makes you tough We are We are We are We are We are We are We are [Chorus] Every fracture left a pattern Every scar became design Built different Built different Built different Built different Built different Built different Built different Built different [Outro] The cake is a lie
